We are betting she’ll do all right at it too. Emmalou Spiesman—We foresee that Emmalou will be doing her part in the war effort by working in a defense plant. Sweet but retiring—We know the man she gets will be a lucky one. Erma Norris—We think Erma will devote part of her life to the nursing profession—and the other to keeping the home fires burning.

She’ll bring renown to P.H.S. through her successful efforts for post war plans. Joyce Coppock—She likes to cook as well as she does eat, so we Seniors hope some day to be eating in her restaurant.

The first day of the freshmen year? What we didn’t do? Surprise! Surprise!” we shouted to our sophomore home room teacher, Mr. Skriletz, at a pot-luck supper party we had for him. The can-can” dancers of 1941! Long dresses, big hats, high heeled shoes and hairy legs with the dainty 1-2 step, attracted people to our freshman show at the Carnival. There was a strong lady with her muscles of pillows and the fortune teller with her crystal ball. Who could ever forget a ride down Main St. in mid-winter in AverilPs old Ford? Did we forget something—our stomachs, perhaps? Who ever ate all of Mr. Skriletz’s sandwiches which mysteriously turned out to be bricks? What senior physics student could forget experimenting with ice cubes? (Mr. Stirm won’t forget either.) Hallowe’en 1943! A lot of letters were stamped at this Hallowe’en party. Wet seats, cold feet, snow faces, and red ears! Sounds like one of those bob-sled rides. Why would Nina rather walk than ride? The football banquet 1944. Ray and Ezra got gold footballs for their good work during football season. Why don’t you wear them, boys? Mistletoe and all it suggests! This appeared over the doorway periodically every December. As seniors, the boys tried to catch our Miss West. Did they succeed—Well?
